In other words, theturbo Audisusea closed loop systemwhere unused boost is recirculated through the system, therefore you can't use BOV's since it will screw up MAF timings and such. You'll want diverter valves instead...

Can someone please explain diverter valves to me? What they do, where they go, how much they run for and how they will improve performance/sounds/looks?

Thanks

Project,

Look for a thread called "DV's for A6". It will explain everything for you. If you still have questions, just post them here and we will help you!

at least on the a4's you can use a bov........ but it has to be closed at idel or your car will stutter and die....... alot of people are using the hybrid valve... it has the option to be 80/20, 50/50, or 20/80...... but i know people using straight bov's........ maybe that isn't the case on the a6, but i know it works for the a4
